The Whisper by The Smarter Office
When it comes to the Whisper Height Adjustable Desk, three words come to mind, value, quality, and, ease (as in ease of use). I will try to be impartial here but I must be transparent, I have the Whisper desk in my home office. I have been working at the Whisper for over 18 months.
Let’s start with value. The Whisper is priced on the lower end of the commercial grade height adjustable desks. However, this desk can hold its own against models in the two to three thousand range. The Whisper is very sturdy, primarily because of its simplicity. Its simplicity is the Whispers secret weapon. The Whisper desk is pneumatic, which means it does not require electricity. This also means the desk is not chained to an electrical outlet. It also means it costs much less than competitor models that are electric.
The raising and lowering of the desktop you to pull up on a lever underneath the right hand side of the desk. Once the lever is engaged, the desktop can be raised or lowered with just a little directional pressure. The desktop fixes into place once the lever is released. The set up is a snap and the quality is top notch. I set my desk up alone in about 20 minutes. The legs are solid light-weight steel and the desktop is pho-oak laminate. The legs come standard with adjustable leveling glides. You will live this desk!
